MUMBAI: Online ticketing platform BookMyShow has said it has crossed over 2.5 million tickets in advance sales so far for Marvel Studio’s ‘Avengers: Endgame’. This marks the highest ever advance ticket sale for a Hollywood film on the platform. Avengers: Endgame is also the fastest film to have surpassed the 2 million advance ticket sales mark on BookMyShow.

Fans are doing #WhateverItTakes to get their hands on the tickets, as BookMyShow witnessed a peak of 18 tickets per second, even before the film releases in cinemas on April 26th.

Speaking about the audience reception, BookMyShow COO – Cinemas Ashish Saksena said, “With just a few hours left for Avengers: Endgame to hit the screens, the frenzy around the film is unprecedented. The cinemas are doing everything possible to match fans’ demand for the film, including round-the-clock screenings as also opening up advance bookings for the entire week ahead. This has enabled BookMyShow to offer several more options to Marvel-lovers and cater to their excitement. As the craze around the film continues to intensify, we expect a mighty opening on Friday and a record-breaking first week.”

‘Avengers: Endgame’ is the 22nd film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the latest after Captain Marvel, which released last month. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and Brie Larson, amongst others, the film is the answer to every fan’s question – what happens next?
